Old Armenian
Etymology
Unclear.[1] Most likely derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut”),[2][3] but not directly inherited.[4][5] A Mediterranean-Pontic substrate or an Iranian mediation is often postulated as donor: compare Ancient Greek σκορπίος (skorpíos, “scorpion; sea-fish”), Persian کروه (karva) and possibly also Latvian ķirpis (“woodboring beetle”).
Moreover, Arabic عَقْرَب (ʕaqrab, “scorpion”), Classical Syriac ܥܩܪܒܐ (‘eqarbā), Hebrew עַקְרָב (ʿaqrāḇ, “scorpion”) and Ancient Greek κάραβος (kárabos, “horned beetle; crayfish”) share phonetic similarities with this word as well. Martirosyan also finds connections with կարիճ (karič), կոր (kor) and the dialectal term քարպիճոն (kʻarpičon, “a kind of horny insect”).[4]
